Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I think it's pretty obvious that he at least traced the original draft. It's not only possible, but common, to trace an image while moving it around to suit another character's proportions or to change up a pose. If you line up the chest, arms, legs, etc., you can clearly see that they match up ...

Re: If Xenoverse 2 happens... (About Custom Characters)

It's worth noting that Xenoverse takes place in Age 850, while Dragon Ball Online states that Mira began his conquest of the universe in Age 851 with the destruction of New Namek (ultimately amassing an army called the Time Breakers and conquering Earth in Age 1000). Given XV's surprise ending, I ...

Re: Ooishi Doing V-Jump Manga

Here's the katakana for all the new character names, by the way. I don't know what most of the puns are, if anything.

Ipana: イパナ
Berry: ベリー
Kyabira: キャビラ
Toobi: トービ
Chilled: チルド

Ipana: イパナ = Pina(pple?) パイナ

Kyabira: キャビラ = Can't figure out anything possibly for it.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Original Story

Amaranth Sparrow , are you planning in translate the last couple of pages?
Yes, I've just been busy the last few days. Not sure when I'll work on the rest of it, I'll try and do it soonish.

Regarding canon... Look at it this way. GT is either the canon successor to the DBZ anime or non-canon. DBO ...

Okay, I'll try and do my best with what I have, but my Korean is extremely weak. Hopefully this game will get released in Japan soon and better translations can follow.

Re: Gaara inspired from Dragonball?

Pretty sure Gaara was inspired, at least in part, by Tetsuo from Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA.

Case in point:

Naruto's orange outfit was inspired by Goku, however, and the Four-Tailed Great Ape was inspired by the Oozaru transformation:

Re: Toyble's DB Zero

It's a good doujinshi, lots of little details.

I particularily liked Desset being a barren wasteland occupied by really strong natives, with the big roots that seemed to blend into the terrain. Didn't even make the connection until the fruit of the Tree of Might dropped down into the crater with ...

Some copies of DBAF1 that were sold over the counter on April 13-14 may have pages out of order (pages 13-15 reversed) due to a printing error. You can contact the publisher, Tom Shuppan (0847-45-1649), and get it replaced with a new copy.

Nah, it's a doujinshi about the days just before Planet Vegeta was destroyed, which is supposed to explain how the other survivors, well, survived. Raditz is the main focus.

Re: Dragon Ball Online News

They've already stated in several interviews that they've intended to release the game globally from the start of development. More to the point, it's become popular extremely quickly, and is already garnering a lot of praise.

It's just a matter of time.

Yeah, from what I've seen, that sounds about right. His direct involvement seems to mainly revolve around the character designs and the general look of the game, and beyond that, it's just general supervision. He probably contributes concepts for the story, but leaves the important details up to the ...

EDIT: And I really hate this human/saiyan cross breed thing. It completely underminds the whole point of the saiyan race if just anyone can do it.
Technically, not anyone can do it. The Saiyan blood is so diluted that the only way to awaken it is to collect the seven Dragon Balls and wish for it ...

If Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Bra each had a family and one or two children each, then within 10 generations you're already looking at thousands of human descendants with diluted saiyan DNA

Yeah, it's ミイラ, but I think it's probably more likely to be a play on Mirai, since he's from the future.

the human race has become cross-bred with the Saiyan race

Since there's only two sets of Saiyan DNA, the human population must be massively inbred.
Unlikely. By the time DB ended, the Saiyan ...

Is there a picture of Miira and the woman who created him anywhere? I'm very curious about that and how they would make use of Goku's dna.
